I didn't find that to be relevant, as I'm more curious about the window hook method than I am towards this particular project.

But yes, the initial idea was founded upon an idea for a gaming tool.

Being a game topic is relevant for at least two reasons:

1) Technical: Many games don't use the Windows desktop API to draw their windows, and standard Windows APIs are either not applicable or blocked by stuff like GameGuard. That is very relevant to AutoIt automation of such a window.

2) Personal: Some people (a small, grouchy, unpleasant minority that includes myself) have qualms about working on game bots/cheat engines. It's not a banned topic on these forums, just one some users (like me) don't want to get involved in. On the flip side, there are some experts around here who would jump at the chance to work on such a challenge, and they might bring critical insight to the topic if they knew a gaming environment was involved.
